Abstract
The adapted formation in Biomedical Engineering that distribute the universities, have a great importance for the contributions that the Biomedical Engineering's specialists can do in the development and management of technologies applied to healthcare, in the different areas of application of the same one. Also they can contribute to improve the life quality of the society, that is the reason for which they need a disciplined formation in their careers. The present work describes in chronological order, the activities related to Biomedical Engineering in Peru up to coming to the actual situation. At the same time it shows information about the peruvian universities, as the most important actors in the human resources' formation and generation in the academic scope, around the undergraduate and postgraduate levels that some peruvian universities teach. In addition, this work compares the peruvian actual situation with some references of foreign universities that have careers and specialist courses in Biomedical Engineering. Finally, it presents some alternatives of solution that are applied into the Peruvian's Technologic University at this time, which will allow to lay the foundations for the adapted development of Biomedical Engineering in Peru in a short time and to revert the situation described before. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
